Can't wait to run this little journey for my group before we move on to Eve of Ruin. Definitely looking forward to the whole adventure

[@d20play]

Same here!

[@socialcommentary]

Another great video! Really enjoyed the playthrough as well! Both have been very helpful with running the catacombs for my players! Please keep up the excellent work!

[@d20play]

Thank you!

[@Mgc28]

This helped me tremendously as I'm setting up my first ever DM attempt. Thank you tremendously

[@d20play]

You’re welcome! I hope you have fun!

[@starethesky]

I've been away from RPG for the last few months. But it's aways nice to catch up the new adventures! Great Video

[@d20play]

Thank you!

[@douglascheesman]

This adventure looked great. Not SO in-depth or esoteric that the players would be clueless. I find that’s a tricky balance to strike with clues and puzzles; obvious versus foreshadowed. This seems to strike a nice mid-point.

[@d20play]

Good observation!

[@TimothyShaw92]

Is this an adventure you can get if you pre-order on roll 20 or is this something that you had to create yourself after buying it on D&D Beyond?

[@d20play]

I am not sure if it is available on roll20 yet. What you see is all my own adaptation from dndbeyond and various other sources. See my how to videos linked in the description of the video for more details.
